yes, Smyrni to be exact.

Izmit - Nicomedia

Bursa - Prussa

Ordu - Kotyora

Sivas - Sevastia

Tirebolu - Tripolis

and probably almost million other little cities or villages that have one Greek name and one Turkish.

also, there are many places that have Ancient Greek name, Byzantine Greek name plus Turkish name.

Do you only use that "system" for places that used to be Greek? Or do you have Greek names (I mean, actually different names in Greek. Not just "translations" like Copenhagen - Kopenhagen, København, Copenhague etc) for Berlin, Madrid, Copenhagen, Delhi etc. as well?

Mostly yes, but it is used in some other places as well. For example:

Switzerland = Helvetia

and probably many others that i cannot actually remember right now
